    I haven’t seen a doctor in at least a decade and a half, when my parents took me to checkups as a child. I’m very lucky to be healthy, and am in the gym 3-5 days a week to keep my streak going as long as possible.

    However, I’m calling bullshit on this:

    A number of studies in low income communities in the south show that over 60% of people in those communities have intestinal parasites. That’s just the ones we know of.

    That sounds insane to me. 60% is a motherfucking epidemic. Where’s the source for these studies???

      It’s extremely common in Africa. My ex who was Zulu hated that you couldn’t get deworming here. Ignore the fact that in Ontario you aren’t getting worms. She brought her misconceptions that KZN is like here.

        I don’t get vaccinated regularly. Covid was an exception, and I got that at some medical place that was offering them for free (In hindsight idk what type of business they were, but the dude who injected me looked like a real doctor)

          After three doses, almost everyone is initially immune,[2] but additional doses every ten years are recommended to maintain immunity.
